Eureka Arsenal specializes in the manufacture of reproduction
US Army field gear from the Spanish
American War era. We believe strongly in authenticity and take great pains
to make products that conform to the same standards that the U.S. Army used over
100 years ago.
Interest in this era is
growing. Scholars and reenactors alike are revisiting the 1890's. New studies
are being written and folks are rediscovering the personalities and events that
closed out the Nineteenth Century, and set the stage for the larger
international presence of the United States in the Twentieth.
I hope that this web site
helps increase awareness of the Spanish American War era. Beyond the merchandise
that is offered, the site has a reference section on US Army Regulations,
a links page to other organizations and businesses and a calendar
to which you may post upcoming events.
It is both a joy and a frustration
to run this business. I have been fortunate to meet many kind and helpful
people. The knowledge and friendships that they have shared continues to inspire
me. Frustrations abound however, in finding just the right materials and
components from which to make truly authentic reproductions. Many of the odd
unavailable metal components of our reproductions are fabricated in house. It
slows down production, but I will not release an item until it is the closest
possible match to regulation originals. I guarantee that you will be satisfied
with your purchase.
Sincerely,
James Kanne
